1864 SEATED HALF

[mariposagold]

I found my first silver half, layered (or Cloaked) in tar. Unfortunately, It's not so photogenic right now.
My site, now a bus stop, was a train station. This site, to date has produced NO CLAD whatsoever. Which surprised me. My first find was a 1941 Merc, then this half, then a 1918s Wheatie. This is an incredibly trashy site, but not the typical trash, IRON, Steel and such. High tones everywhere.

I'm flabbergasted having found this Seated Half. I didn't expect it.

I certainly hope this site has more surprises, cause it's gonna be real hard to beat my 1864 Seated Half.

Thanks for sharing my Joy.

Beautiful Find! Its sure going to be hard to ever find anything as old or older around here. That site IS so incredibly trashy but I'm sure there are more goodies there. I may head over there Thursday evening. 5pm hunt?? you in?

You certainly have found the old silver bank! The detail looks incredibly sharp! Other than a rare date there's only a few coins that could beat that, one being gold. Congrats!

It may not be the prettiest coin I've ever seen, BUT IT'S A SEATED HALF! In 30 year of detecting I've only found one myself. I'll take a seated half any day and go home smiling and wouldn't care about the condition. Great find!

Great find! I only have one Seated so far, and its just a lowly dime. That half is fantastic!

Lightning often strikes the same spots over and over. Better carry extra underwear next time you go. I would have needed an emergency change had I found that puppy. Congrats.

Oh, I'm certainly up for it. I'll need a ride from the office though, since I won't have the car. Still want to do the trade we talked about on Friday?
